00:00:47 --> 00:00:52

00:00:52 --> 00:00:57

wisdoms, so, may Allah have mercy on him he says.

faladi wa Jahad come in will akkada who will be awarded

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

personal FTR

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

what does that mean? The first part seems to be a bit more

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39

simpler than the second part. What he means is that to soften for you

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

the suffering of affliction.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46

He has taught you that he is the one who causes the trials to come

00:01:46 --> 00:01:50

upon you. So in the last session in the last aphorism,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

if not auto Allah had said, let's start with a beaucoup aka Rima

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

doomed if he had hit Darfur in the Hama, Abaza Illa, who was the

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

hukou was we have a vegetable narrativa, which basically meant

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

so long as you are in this world, don't be surprised that the

00:02:06 --> 00:02:12

existence of sorrows for truly the world manifests nothing but what

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

is in keeping with its character. And its inevitable nature, the

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

nature of the world is to include suffering. So now, he's going to

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

the next level. And he's saying, I'm going to tell you a way to

00:02:24 --> 00:02:29

soften the suffering. Firstly, you needed to get your perspective,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

right, which was that why is there suffering, for you to even seek a

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

world without suffering. When we say suffering is we're not when

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

we're not here to suffer. And suffering is not our objective.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

And when we do not actively cause anybody to suffer, but suffering

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50

will come. Even if it's something as simple as losing someone, how

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

many people have been lost in COVID, nearly everybody knows

00:02:53 --> 00:02:57

somebody who's been either afflicted, just afflicted or who

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00

have either passed away, and if not, through COVID through other

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

means that's a suffering.

00:03:03 --> 00:03:08

That's a suffering on its own. So even if you have a child or a

00:03:08 --> 00:03:12

loved one, and they are traveling, and you have to suffer them, you

00:03:12 --> 00:03:17

know, when you miss them, the departure, the being away from you

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

that's suffering. So suffering is going to happen, but we don't

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

cause suffering, actively cause suffering.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28

And we're not here to suffer. But suffering is part of this. So he

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

got that perspective, right, that they will be suffering. Now, the

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

second part he is saying is that I'm going to try to make it easy

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

on you. And this is, obviously he's doing this through his

00:03:36 --> 00:03:41

experience. And this is all part of his understanding of the

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45

absolute the hate and oneness of Allah subhanaw taala. I said, this

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

book is actually a book of Tawheed once we understand it, because

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

he's saying, now you need to understand why Allah subhanaw

00:03:52 --> 00:03:56

taala sin suffering, and that will then provide you some

00:03:56 --> 00:04:01

facilitation, and some ease. And hamdulillah Bring it on, you know,

00:04:02 --> 00:04:06

because we know that suffering will be inevitable difficulties

00:04:06 --> 00:04:11

and setbacks, shortcomings will be inevitable. And tests and trials

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16

do happen. And we do face, sometimes an uphill climb in doing

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

something. So anything that can help us with that. That's

00:04:19 --> 00:04:23

wonderful. And the reason I'm so excited about it, is because I've

00:04:23 --> 00:04:30

seen people who have kind of realized this, and they just don't

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

have the same reaction, the same negative reaction to a lot of

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

other people who don't know the nature of what suffering is about

00:04:37 --> 00:04:41

or what the purpose of it is about and where it comes from. So if

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

not, I thought Allah may Allah bless him. Rocky Mahala

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

is literally just telling us that look, this all the suffering comes

00:04:48 --> 00:04:52

from one source it comes from Allah subhanaw taala. So that's

00:04:52 --> 00:04:56

why he's saying to soften for you the suffering of affliction. He

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

has taught you that he is the one who causes the trials.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:00

come upon you.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:05

For the one who confronts you with his decrees of fate is the same,

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

who has accustomed you to his good choice. That's the second part.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:15

This is aphorism Heckman number 105, which is on page 191 of the

00:05:15 --> 00:05:20

commentary, page 191 of the commentary, and it's hikma number

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

105. So with the second part, the first part is quite simple that is

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

telling you that it comes from Allah subhanaw taala. The second

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

part is saying that, just remember that the one who's confronting you

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

with this decree of fate, like whatever difficulties happened

00:05:34 --> 00:05:38

happening to you, it's written, so it's part of your fate. So he's

00:05:38 --> 00:05:43

saying that this fate, so call this fate call this decree call

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

this your Providence, right? You're what Allah subhanaw taala

00:05:46 --> 00:05:51

is this is all coming from the same one who is also generally

00:05:51 --> 00:05:57

normally accustomed to having a for his good choice, which

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

basically means that aren't you generally benefiting and having

00:06:01 --> 00:06:06

gifts showered upon you, having your the fact that we've even been

00:06:06 --> 00:06:10

in we are even in this world, and we have a Rob and a lord and he's

00:06:10 --> 00:06:14

looking after us and our tarbiyah is being done meaning Allah

00:06:14 --> 00:06:18

subhanaw taala has brought us up to the stage and allowed us to

00:06:18 --> 00:06:22

benefit from this world and, and and so on and so forth. He's the

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

same one, who is actually giving you these difficulties, they're

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

not coming from two different sources. It's not as if the good

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

comes from Allah. So then okay, that's when we thank Allah and

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

when, when it's difficult, it's coming from the shaytaan No, no,

00:06:33 --> 00:06:37

not at all. Everything comes from Allah. And Allah subhanaw. Taala

00:06:37 --> 00:06:41

is the wise one. Allah subhanho wa Taala knows exactly what he's

00:06:41 --> 00:06:45

doing. Allah subhanaw taala has already predetermined and decided

00:06:45 --> 00:06:49

how everything is going to be because based on his nature of

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

based on his knowledge of what he knows about everybody, and then

00:06:52 --> 00:06:56

his just absolute ability to make a choice regarding everything. So

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

it's all coming from the same place. Now, in other words, what

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

this is telling you is that the only way for you to

00:07:03 --> 00:07:08

have these difficulties be lightened, and be tolerable and be

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

easy. And then not just that, it's not just about tolerating them and

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

moving on, oh, okay, that's done, and not getting anything out of

00:07:15 --> 00:07:20

it. No, Allah subhanaw taala is a lot more is a lot more profound

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

and generous than that he want, he knows difficulties will come. He

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

wants us to tolerate them and deal with them and have patience on

00:07:25 --> 00:07:29

them. But then he wants them to be rewarding. He wants them to be

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

rewarding for us. So this is what's telling us that if you

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

correct your perspective, all the difficulties, not only will you

00:07:36 --> 00:07:40

learn to tolerate, and deal with them, and surmount them, and

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

overcome them and leave them behind, but you'll actually be

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

able to take a lot of

00:07:47 --> 00:07:51

a lot of spoils of war, a lot of good, a lot of reward you can

00:07:51 --> 00:07:55

carry out of it. So when you started, the difficulty suddenly

00:07:55 --> 00:08:01

came upon you, you only had a certain amount of rewards, good

00:08:01 --> 00:08:06

deeds, status with Allah. And if you deal with this mountain that's

00:08:06 --> 00:08:10

about that you're about to climb that you're about to ascend, that

00:08:10 --> 00:08:11

you need to cross.

00:08:13 --> 00:08:17

If you do it right, the right perspective, then when you get

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20

over the top, and you get to the other side, you'll be much better

00:08:20 --> 00:08:24

off, you'll have greater rewards, you'll have more deeds to your

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

name, you will be higher up and be closer to Allah subhanaw taala.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:31

That's what Allah is telling us at once you recognize where this is

00:08:31 --> 00:08:35

coming from. And that is all coming from Allah. And he has a

00:08:35 --> 00:08:39

purpose and my job and I've got a responsibility here. So that's the

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

thing. It's about knowing the responsibility. So there's

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

actually humans have a responsibility, when we have good

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

in our lives. And we also have a responsibility. When we have

00:08:48 --> 00:08:53

difficulties in our life. It's not like when you're in Islam, even

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

when you're sick, you still have a responsibility. We have

00:08:56 --> 00:09:00

responsibilities to our body, that we are going to try to find some

00:09:00 --> 00:09:05

kind of cure, or we're going to try to take some precautions. So

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

when you're when you're sick, and Ill, you know, you don't want to

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

be meeting people like in the whole COVID thing. You have to

00:09:11 --> 00:09:14

take those precautions in every state so that we have we have

00:09:14 --> 00:09:19

responsibilities. You know, we are responsible beings, we're called

00:09:19 --> 00:09:23

McAuliffe. Right. The conservator Cliff has mentioned the Quran that

00:09:23 --> 00:09:26

you can live with love and gifts and he loves Allah. Allah has made

00:09:26 --> 00:09:31

us responsible by being human beings, the highest of all

00:09:31 --> 00:09:36

creation. Well look at Corona, Benny Adam, being able to

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

subjugate other and weak that comes with responsibilities being

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

a vice John khalifa to lie, fill out the vice urine of Allah on

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

this earth,

00:09:45 --> 00:09:49

specially selected by Allah subhanaw taala to be sent prophets

00:09:49 --> 00:09:49

to

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53

Allah subhanaw taala has chosen us but that gives us

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

responsibilities. So when you're sick, you're not just going to

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

give it all up. You still have responsibilities we still have to

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

pray

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

As far as possible, the only time you don't have to pray is if

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06

you're completely paralyzed and you can't move anything. That's

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

generally the situation or you're sleeping for over 24 hours, then

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

meaning you're in a coma rather for 24 hours not sleeping. If

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

you're in a coma for over 24 hours, then those five slots

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

become canceled on you. But otherwise, we have to pray, we

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

still have responsibilities just like we are respond to try to find

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

a cure and not afflict somebody else, possibly.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:30

So likewise, when we any difficulty that any other

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

difficulty, which is not necessarily a sickness, or an

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

illness, it's a loss of something.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38

It's just a parent who's oppressing you.

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

This some people who are going through oppressive oppression

00:10:42 --> 00:10:47

through their parents. For years, a guy called me is 31 years old,

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

and he's going through oppression through his parents, I said,

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

You're I said, Where do you live is that I still live with my

00:10:51 --> 00:10:55

parents. So I said, Why don't you move, I don't have the money to

00:10:55 --> 00:11:00

move. I said, you're the loser. In this case, you

00:11:01 --> 00:11:06

as much to blame, you need to move out, maintain relationship with

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

your parents with an oppressive parent, because there are

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

unfortunately, there are oppressive parents, unfortunately,

00:11:10 --> 00:11:15

right, we can't discount that idea. So they still respect to

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

parents. But that doesn't mean that you need to be with them to

00:11:18 --> 00:11:21

take the blows all the time, if they don't really need you to be

00:11:21 --> 00:11:26

serving them. That's a different issue anyway. So go find another

00:11:26 --> 00:11:32

place, work hard, and stop living off them, write stop living off

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

them, and then keep saying that they're oppressing you.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

Go make your own life and be close to them. And you'll see that your

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

life will improve that way.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45

So sometimes we bring on difficulties to ourselves anyway.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

So we have to obviously look at that. But what this is saying

00:11:49 --> 00:11:55

is that a URL in sun, human, you know, when any kind of difficulty

00:11:55 --> 00:12:00

reaches you, afflicts you, or any other kind of test comes upon you.

00:12:00 --> 00:12:04

Either in your body, in your family, in your wealth.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:12

Your car was stolen, or something, car broke down, the engine packed

00:12:12 --> 00:12:17

up, then this is maybe the difficult part that remember, just

00:12:17 --> 00:12:21

think who brought this upon you. Like, are we being negative here?

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

We're trying to remember Allah as the Allah is the one who's

00:12:23 --> 00:12:27

afflicting you? Do we have to remember Allah subhanaw taala like

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

that? No, the purpose of it is different. It's not to say it's

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33

Allah. So let's blame him. He's the one who's doing all of these

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

things. That's not the idea. That's not a believer.

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

That's completely the opposite.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:43

Subhanallah you know, there are people who have that kind of

00:12:43 --> 00:12:46

awareness of Allah, that whenever something wrong happens, they

00:12:46 --> 00:12:51

think why Allah only be a jeep. You know, there's some people who

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

don't remember at all. They, when there's a difficulty, they like

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

trying to find out who can help them. They don't think of Allah at

00:12:58 --> 00:13:02

all. And then some people if they do think of Allah, they think of

00:13:02 --> 00:13:06

him negatively. Why me? Why did Allah do this to me for why did he

00:13:06 --> 00:13:11

cause me this suffering? Why is it always me? That's pure shaytaan.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:16

To try to break that link between you and such, Have you never seen

00:13:16 --> 00:13:20

where sometimes you've had this idea that somebody did something

00:13:20 --> 00:13:23

to you, and you put all of your aggression against them, when you

00:13:23 --> 00:13:26

actually discovered that it was actually somebody else's person

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

had absolutely nothing to do with this. This is just a massive plot

00:13:30 --> 00:13:35

of shaytaan. To to spoil and adulterate and corrupt your

00:13:35 --> 00:13:39

relationship with Allah subhanho wa taala. Know the awareness you

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

need about Allah subhanho wa taala, that's going to be positive

00:13:41 --> 00:13:44

is that look, this is Allah behind this. And he is the kind of

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

generous one he's the compassionate one he loves.

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

The believers, Allah looks after the believers who Allahu Allah,

00:13:51 --> 00:13:56

you will mean, Allah who will lead you live in Ermanno. Allah takes

00:13:56 --> 00:14:00

care of them. Allah is the rub. That's his name, he does the

00:14:00 --> 00:14:03

therapy, which means he looks after them and nurtures them. How

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

can he do that to me, there's a reason for it.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07

So

00:14:09 --> 00:14:13

So now just remember first will cause this to come upon you.

00:14:14 --> 00:14:19

And then remember that Allah subhanaw taala is Rahim. Allah is

00:14:19 --> 00:14:24

merciful, He is compassionate. And Allah has love and Allah has come

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

and ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala cares for you.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:33

Then after that, it's an exercise. Once you think of it that way

00:14:33 --> 00:14:38

positively like that, then you will start to realize what benefit

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

there is in this difficulty.

00:14:41 --> 00:14:45

That there may be some benefit some gifts that are wrapped up in

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

this difficulty that comes upon you.

00:14:48 --> 00:14:51

As this is a way to understand this.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:57

This has if this didn't happen, I would have done that instead. If

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

my car did not break down, I was gonna go and do that and then

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

Alhamdulillah this was all averted sometimes that will come later

00:15:03 --> 00:15:08

that I, that realization will come later. Now, if nothing else if you

00:15:08 --> 00:15:13

can't see any big wisdom of an aversion of a bigger calamity or

00:15:13 --> 00:15:14

anything like that, that's fine.

00:15:15 --> 00:15:21

At the least there are definitely some things happening by defaults

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

if you got it right if you've got the perspective right,

00:15:25 --> 00:15:29

while I'm while I will Aamir Khan Illa dot hero coming up Zulu, if

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

there was nothing else in it, except just purifying you from

00:15:31 --> 00:15:35

your sins, because one of the most powerful purifiers like a steaming

00:15:35 --> 00:15:40

machine or something like that is sub in difficulty. One is Toba,

00:15:40 --> 00:15:44

Toba repentance. And the other one to get closer to Allah and to be

00:15:44 --> 00:15:49

purified is just connecting with Allah when a difficulty happens to

00:15:49 --> 00:15:54

really show your your affinity, your connection to Allah, that

00:15:54 --> 00:15:58

creates purity from sin. That's like a washing machine.

00:16:00 --> 00:16:05

What am he so criminal or YouTube and purifying you correcting you

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

from defects? How would you get corrected from defects when you

00:16:09 --> 00:16:14

have a difficulty? A lot of a lot of In fact, there's a huge benefit

00:16:14 --> 00:16:16

in that because your ego gets

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

injured. When people have difficulties, they no longer those

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

proud and arrogant and self confident narcissistic

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

individuals.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

They realize their difficulty, they realize their weakness, they

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

realize their vulnerability.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:37

So Allah subhanaw taala is just taking away what's going to be

00:16:37 --> 00:16:43

harmful to you by making you think and reflect and above that.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:48

Another benefit is Dockery boo caminhada, to Allah, Allah, who

00:16:48 --> 00:16:48

you

00:16:51 --> 00:16:55

he's making you closer to the one who knows all of the unseen hands,

00:16:55 --> 00:17:00

who is the most profound knower, the omniscient one of all the

00:17:00 --> 00:17:03

unseen things. So now you're crossing this mountain, you're

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

crossing this ocean in front of you, which is the difficulty you

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

have to get to the other side. But Masha Allah, these are the

00:17:08 --> 00:17:12

treasures you pick up on the way purification from your sin.

00:17:13 --> 00:17:19

Purification and correction, reformation of your defects,

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

especially psychologic

00:17:21 --> 00:17:25

spiritual defects. And number three, bringing you closer to

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

Allah subhanaw taala. If that was all that you get out of

00:17:28 --> 00:17:32

difficulties, isn't it sufficient? Lukka that would be sufficient.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:38

When people are playing fortnight, they're picking up stuff to

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

survive. They get stronger, they have to be revived. They have to

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

get on cabbage and stuff like that. I don't know if some crazies

00:17:43 --> 00:17:47

I watch it. I see some people playing. It's a bit crazy. I don't

00:17:47 --> 00:17:51

know if you guys play fortnight, right and hamdulillah right? The

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

only thing good about it doesn't have music. You can shut the music

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

off. That's a good advice. All these other games are crazy,

00:17:56 --> 00:18:00

right? So you're picking up stuff in a lot of these games. It's

00:18:00 --> 00:18:02

about picking up stuff and reward and going over that's what it's

00:18:02 --> 00:18:06

like humans love this to pick up things on the way. Benefit on the

00:18:06 --> 00:18:09

way. Here you are Allah subhanaw taala puts the difficulty you have

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

to you have to deal with this now.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:17

If only games that they created, like fortnight or whatever could

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

actually teach you lessons in life.

00:18:22 --> 00:18:25

Why don't think I don't know why anybody doesn't think that way,

00:18:25 --> 00:18:29

though. Okay, make a game that has lessons in life that can actually

00:18:29 --> 00:18:33

teach you some real life lessons. Problem with this, I know my kids

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

were playing this car game where you bet, where you have to bash

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

the cars off or something like that. So we're driving, like in

00:18:39 --> 00:18:44

real life and like, just bash him off. This is not the game. This is

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

not the game it's in it was on the Nintendo Wii U or what's like

00:18:47 --> 00:18:52

Sonic or something, right? It's called. Like, That's not. That's

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

not the real life. So somehow, unless somebody needs to think

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

about creating a game that's so immersive, but has some real life,

00:18:59 --> 00:19:04

positive benefits, otherwise, it's a waste of time. It's a waste of

00:19:04 --> 00:19:04

time.

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

There's a lot of people that keep questioning why, you know, why are

00:19:10 --> 00:19:13

we in this what you know, what can Islam do? And these guys are, you

00:19:13 --> 00:19:17

know, gaming people and these guys are programmers and everything,

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

think right, think correctly,

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

and do something with the expertise Allah subhanaw taala has

00:19:23 --> 00:19:31

given you so the one who has now confronted you, right, whose might

00:19:31 --> 00:19:35

have confronted you with this difficulty. He is the same one who

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

has given you all the things in life is wrong coming from the same

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

source, the one who's confronted you with all of these

00:19:41 --> 00:19:47

difficulties. He is the same one from whom comes all goodness, all

00:19:47 --> 00:19:50

kindness, everything that you were you eat, and you've done and

00:19:50 --> 00:19:53

you've achieved and you enjoy this world.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:58

The one who is now bringing up and confronting you with these

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

apparent difficulties

00:20:02 --> 00:20:08

These apparent tests, he's the one who also can shower you amidst all

00:20:08 --> 00:20:13

of this with great goodness and great gifts and benefits. That's

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

why there was a poet who says

00:20:17 --> 00:20:20

they love the legal alarm or if anthem asked me

00:20:22 --> 00:20:27

the Hindi for here in the sauna. What in terms the Hindi for here

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

in the sauna.

00:20:29 --> 00:20:33

The hat can be Marta Hawa, who fear for a nanny for Kieran, Liesl

00:20:33 --> 00:20:34

Tonle Mahabharata.

00:20:36 --> 00:20:40

Which basically means that pains and difficulties and, and griefs,

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

they are a source of pleasure for me when I know that you're the one

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

who is making me undergo them.

00:20:47 --> 00:20:52

And if you're going to, if you're going to test me, then that is

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

fine. I have many, many ways of dealing with this

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

in many, many forms.

00:20:58 --> 00:21:03

Because I am at the end of the day, my job and my state is that

00:21:03 --> 00:21:08

I'm basically I am the one who is a fakir, who's the needy one who

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

has to be obedient to the master of all love.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:18

So that's our state with Allah subhanaw taala Junaid Baghdadi

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

Rahim Allah. He said

00:21:21 --> 00:21:27

that one day, I was sleeping close to a city Zuccotti. Now these are

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

two of

00:21:29 --> 00:21:35

these great aesthetics and Olia of the past that pretty much

00:21:35 --> 00:21:39

everybody recognizes their words have just proliferated through all

00:21:39 --> 00:21:43

the books after and everybody's benefited from them in the path of

00:21:43 --> 00:21:47

spirituality. So they're together a study of circuitry. And Junaid

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

Al Baghdadi said I was sleeping close to him

00:21:51 --> 00:21:56

and then he woke me up. He woke me up and he said to me Junaid, I've

00:21:56 --> 00:22:01

just seen a dream. And I've seen as though I'm standing in front of

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

Allah subhanaw taala. And Allah then addresses me and he says,

00:22:04 --> 00:22:09

Sorry, I created people, I created all creation.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:14

And all of them claim to be

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

lovers, all of them claim my love. So then what I did, they all

00:22:19 --> 00:22:22

claimed my love. So I created the dunya.

00:22:23 --> 00:22:27

So nine tenths 90%

00:22:28 --> 00:22:28

Run away

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

from my love.

00:22:32 --> 00:22:39

Only 1/10 Willis, only 1/10 were left. So then I created paradise.

00:22:40 --> 00:22:48

And nine tenths of those that were left of those 10% 9% Another 9% or

00:22:48 --> 00:22:53

90% of the tip of that last 10% They disappeared. How do you

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

disappear because of Paradise because your focus becomes

00:22:56 --> 00:22:59

paradise and not alive anymore, which is another pitfall.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

So I, I am left with he said

00:23:04 --> 00:23:08

he's sending this to study addressing studies. This is a

00:23:08 --> 00:23:11

study of Socrates dream, Allah subhanaw taala is giving him this

00:23:11 --> 00:23:16

information. So now I've got this 1% left of the original 100%

00:23:18 --> 00:23:25

So then, I afflicted them with just an iota, an infinitesimally

00:23:25 --> 00:23:28

small amount of difficulty and a test. So now

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

another 90% disappeared.

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

This to art Shari Laroche. Shari Laroche.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:37

Right?

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

So then, whoever has now left, which I forget what the

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

calculation is of those who are left.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:52

It is not you've not intended the dunya and you didn't run to the

00:23:52 --> 00:23:56

world. You didn't run to paradise and just focused on the Acura in

00:23:56 --> 00:24:01

that sense. And neither did you run away from the test and

00:24:01 --> 00:24:01

hellfire.

00:24:02 --> 00:24:06

What do you want? Now? What what are you guys, everybody else they

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

found something to run to and they found some attraction? What is

00:24:09 --> 00:24:13

wrong with you people? So they said in Nikitina Monterey, do you

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

know exactly what we want? So then Allah subhanaw taala said to them,

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20

I'm going to cause

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

I'm going to cause to come upon you

00:24:25 --> 00:24:30

such difficulties and tests and trials that will be to the amount

00:24:30 --> 00:24:36

of your number of your lives. And it is something that not even

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

mountains

00:24:39 --> 00:24:44

huge, firmly grounded, firmly settled mountains could confront.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:50

Would you still be patient? Would you still remain? So they said,

00:24:51 --> 00:24:55

if it is you in Quinta, and they'll move tele if you're the

00:24:55 --> 00:24:56

one

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

who is going to be afflicting us forever

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

I'll mash it, go ahead and do whatever you want.

00:25:04 --> 00:25:08

So then he said her hola eBuddy How can these are my true

00:25:08 --> 00:25:12

servants? Now that sets a very high bar, let that not

00:25:13 --> 00:25:17

make us despondent that we can't reach that level, we're going to

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

try inshallah to reach that level.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:25

And the way you start is that if we can deal with more difficulties

00:25:25 --> 00:25:30

than less so before if we would just freak out with every little

00:25:30 --> 00:25:33

test that comes in think it's against us and and so on. We need

00:25:33 --> 00:25:36

to start surmounting the smaller ones the bigger ones and insha

00:25:36 --> 00:25:41

Allah one day, it will come to a time when you will be relaxed, you

00:25:41 --> 00:25:45

will have some grief but it will not make you freak out. If not I

00:25:45 --> 00:25:48

Allah in another book of his he says we're in the My your you know

00:25:48 --> 00:25:52

whom Allah humbly come for Tuberville if hum, what helps

00:25:52 --> 00:25:56

these people, the same people, the small minority of people or

00:25:56 --> 00:26:00

whatever they are? What helps them what helps them to deal with and

00:26:00 --> 00:26:04

tolerate and overcome these difficulties and see him in the

00:26:04 --> 00:26:06

right way? Right? Is

00:26:08 --> 00:26:12

Allah subhanho wa Taala has opened the door of understanding for

00:26:12 --> 00:26:16

them. That's what you need, you need understanding. Right? You

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

need understanding all the psychologists the therapist will

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

tell you when they deal with people with weird mental issues,

00:26:21 --> 00:26:24

they try to change their mind their perspective, because a lot

00:26:24 --> 00:26:26

of people have skewed their perspective for different reasons

00:26:26 --> 00:26:29

through trauma, to having bad experiences, and so on and so

00:26:29 --> 00:26:32

forth. So they try to get them to think or write again and think

00:26:32 --> 00:26:35

more positively. There's so many books out there about thinking

00:26:35 --> 00:26:40

positively thinking positively. So that's what he's trying to do. So

00:26:40 --> 00:26:44

he's saying in another word, you could also say, Allah subhana wa

00:26:44 --> 00:26:44

Tada

00:26:46 --> 00:26:50

is strengthening them will strengthen you on tolerating your

00:26:50 --> 00:26:55

difficulties and tolerating your your tests and

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

giving you gifts. You can say it another way he says

00:27:01 --> 00:27:06

that Allah subhanaw taala gets you to understand

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

and comprehend

00:27:10 --> 00:27:11

the various different

00:27:14 --> 00:27:17

things that will happen in destiny that this is all happening because

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

Allah subhanaw taala knows it's happening.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

And this is all the choice of Allah, nothing is beyond the

00:27:24 --> 00:27:28

choice of Allah. It's not shaytaan doing this, it's, it's coming from

00:27:28 --> 00:27:32

Allah subhanaw taala. But shaytaan can affect the way you think about

00:27:32 --> 00:27:36

this. Also, Allah subhanho wa Taala wants you to know that he

00:27:36 --> 00:27:41

knows and he's aware of what's happening to you. So that way, you

00:27:41 --> 00:27:44

will understand that you're in good hands when you know that the

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

difficulty is there must be a reason for why Allah subhanaw

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

taala is doing this. Allah subhanho wa Taala wants you to

00:27:49 --> 00:27:54

know that if you are patient in this, this will help you to get to

00:27:54 --> 00:27:58

the next stage of being satisfied with his decree, which is the

00:27:58 --> 00:28:02

highest state. Allah subhanho wa Taala also wants you to know that

00:28:02 --> 00:28:06

if you if you do deal with these difficulties in the correct way

00:28:06 --> 00:28:09

and you have the right patience, Allah subhanaw taala will give you

00:28:09 --> 00:28:13

a lot more basura Allah will grant you a lot more insight, you will

00:28:13 --> 00:28:17

become a lot more wiser. And you will know why things happen a lot

00:28:17 --> 00:28:22

more than then being well like in the past. And above all, Allah

00:28:22 --> 00:28:26

subhanaw Eventually you will also start seeing the benefits of why

00:28:26 --> 00:28:29

these difficult comes, difficulties come. So it's going

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

to have to be a progression as you see. Right you will eventually

00:28:31 --> 00:28:34

have to understand Understand, Allah will open it up more and

00:28:34 --> 00:28:38

more and more. But you have to get ready to deal with these in the

00:28:38 --> 00:28:41

way Allah subhanaw taala wants them wants you to do it. That's

00:28:41 --> 00:28:45

why the next aphorism here which we're not going to look in detail

00:28:45 --> 00:28:50

at today, it's for next time but he says mon vana infy caca lotfy

00:28:50 --> 00:28:54

and Kadri furtherly Kalia kusuda NaVi. We'll look at that one next

00:28:54 --> 00:28:58

time. Whoever supposes that Allah's gentleness is separate

00:28:58 --> 00:29:02

from his decree of fate, that when he is challenging you in some way

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

when he's testing you in certain way, whenever his decree is

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

occurring upon you, that that doesn't have any of his gentleness

00:29:07 --> 00:29:11

and compassion. Then anybody who thinks like that is doing that out

00:29:11 --> 00:29:15

of short sightedness. You just haven't understood Allah subhanaw

00:29:15 --> 00:29:20

taala. That's why the vicar of Allah, repeating the name of Allah

00:29:20 --> 00:29:24

thinking about Allah is going to help us the difficulties of the

00:29:24 --> 00:29:27

dunya. So I'm going to read to you what Sheikh Abdullah Gringo, he

00:29:27 --> 00:29:31

says, As a conclusion of this, in commentary says, When you keep in

00:29:31 --> 00:29:35

mind that the misfortunes that befall you are from Allah Most

00:29:35 --> 00:29:39

High, the worldly causes having absolutely no significance in this

00:29:39 --> 00:29:43

regard. Yes, it was that guy who did it to you. It was that person

00:29:43 --> 00:29:46

who smashed in your car. It was that person who said this to you.

00:29:46 --> 00:29:50

But remember behind all of that, Allah subhanaw taala knows. So the

00:29:50 --> 00:29:53

worldly causes have obviously no significance in this regard. They

00:29:53 --> 00:29:57

just tools. So don't put your aggression against that person.

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

Right then

00:30:00 --> 00:30:01

grief and sorrow will be lessened.

00:30:03 --> 00:30:07

When you realize the bigger picture, like, Okay, I understand

00:30:07 --> 00:30:10

this, you will realize that the being who has afflicted you with

00:30:10 --> 00:30:15

the misfortunes is the same being who has always acted for your

00:30:15 --> 00:30:18

welfare in all your affairs until now he looked after you, you just

00:30:18 --> 00:30:21

come across a small difficulty. Or maybe you've got more

00:30:21 --> 00:30:23

difficulties, but there's been all lots of good things that have

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

happened in your life, he has always treated you with love and

00:30:26 --> 00:30:27

kindness.

00:30:28 --> 00:30:30

Now, of course, if there's a person who has had so many

00:30:30 --> 00:30:32

difficulties, probably because they've been making some big

00:30:32 --> 00:30:35

mistakes, and they're not dealing with the right way, like I said,

00:30:35 --> 00:30:38

there's a person who's stuck in his house, and who is not willing

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

to stand on his own feet, even though they're over 30 years old.

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

Right. And that's as much as I know, maybe there's some other

00:30:44 --> 00:30:48

reasons which I don't know, in view of Allah's kind and loving

00:30:48 --> 00:30:51

treatment in all your affairs, you will understand that there most

00:30:51 --> 00:30:55

certainly is some benefit for you in the hardship. There's people,

00:30:55 --> 00:30:58

they can't get married in 10 years, I can't get married, I

00:30:58 --> 00:31:02

can't find the right person. You need to really go to somebody and

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

think of the way you're looking at this.

00:31:05 --> 00:31:08

I just can't see why you can't get married is it there's no women

00:31:08 --> 00:31:11

around, there's no men around, there's so many women men around,

00:31:11 --> 00:31:14

it's just you've got some weird way of looking at this. So go and

00:31:14 --> 00:31:19

think, for yourself to change the way you're looking at things. Go

00:31:19 --> 00:31:22

and talk to somebody, somebody more reasonable more, you know,

00:31:22 --> 00:31:25

who's got some experience of why do you think that is? What's my

00:31:25 --> 00:31:28

perspective? You know, tell them the options you didn't have? And

00:31:28 --> 00:31:32

why you why you because I that's where I was like, What options did

00:31:32 --> 00:31:35

you have? So that was that, maybe you're just being overly

00:31:35 --> 00:31:38

sensitive. There's some people, I can't get my daughter married,

00:31:39 --> 00:31:42

that's just surmounting my head for the last three, four years.

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

Either you're doing you're not doing something the right way. But

00:31:46 --> 00:31:49

you should definitely not be grieving. That's a test from

00:31:49 --> 00:31:53

Allah. Right? That's a test from Allah, you need to be trying in

00:31:53 --> 00:31:54

every way.

00:31:55 --> 00:31:59

That's why our Mushrik they tell us that, you know, I remember once

00:31:59 --> 00:32:02

there was a difficult, there was a project that I wanted to do, but

00:32:02 --> 00:32:06

it was proving very difficult. So the Sheikh said, Look, you just

00:32:06 --> 00:32:09

carry on your efforts, you have to carry on the efforts of the world

00:32:09 --> 00:32:13

in the right way, in a intelligent way, in a strategic way. But at

00:32:13 --> 00:32:17

the same time, read husband, Allahu Annette Milwaukee as well.

00:32:18 --> 00:32:20

So don't just sit and read Hassan Allah Who and Mr. luckyland Just

00:32:20 --> 00:32:24

sit back and not do anything, or do things in the wrong way. You

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

have to do things in the right way. And sometimes, we may be

00:32:26 --> 00:32:28

doing things in the wrong way for many, many years, and we don't

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

realize it gone, ask somebody else how they did it.

00:32:32 --> 00:32:35

Get some help get somebody to scrutinize the way we're doing

00:32:35 --> 00:32:40

something, inshallah that will be a benefit. So, in view of Allah's

00:32:40 --> 00:32:43

kind of loving treatment in all your affairs, you will understand

00:32:43 --> 00:32:47

that the most certainly is some benefit for you in the hardship.

00:32:47 --> 00:32:50

While ostensibly the hardship appears to be a misfortune. In

00:32:50 --> 00:32:54

reality, it is for your benefit. In fact, it is a mercy for you,

00:32:54 --> 00:32:56

we've detailed all of that already, that these are the

00:32:56 --> 00:32:59

benefits that you get from the rays of status purification

00:32:59 --> 00:33:03

correction, when this knowledge develops into a state in you. So

00:33:03 --> 00:33:08

you see, all of this has to become a state, not just something that

00:33:08 --> 00:33:11

oh, man, I wish I that was the difficulty I freaked out I

00:33:11 --> 00:33:14

shouldn't have done that state means that when it happens, that

00:33:14 --> 00:33:18

is your organic and natural way that you will deal with it, that

00:33:18 --> 00:33:21

will only come with practice. Right? That will only come with

00:33:21 --> 00:33:25

practice. So when this knowledge develops into a state in you, your

00:33:25 --> 00:33:28

worry and grief will disappear. Although the hardship will produce

00:33:28 --> 00:33:33

pain, to your physical body, or to your physical heart, so you will

00:33:33 --> 00:33:36

be pained, you know, you may have been wounded. So there will be

00:33:36 --> 00:33:40

pain, right? There will be difficulty that you have to get up

00:33:40 --> 00:33:44

in the morning to go and take your car to the mechanic on a Sunday

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

morning because you need it for Monday. You need it, you need it

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

for Monday, there will be difficulties not like it's all

00:33:49 --> 00:33:52

going to be now okay? The angels are going to come and sort

00:33:52 --> 00:33:54

everything out for you. No, you will still have to do it. But in

00:33:54 --> 00:33:58

your heart, you will not freak out, you will be very calm. That's

00:33:58 --> 00:34:01

the benefit of this. Your spiritual heart will become

00:34:01 --> 00:34:05

contented and delighted. So we ask Allah to do this, because I think

00:34:05 --> 00:34:09

this is so profound, this is so profound, so many people because

00:34:09 --> 00:34:10

we're dealing with these, you know, we're dealing with these

00:34:10 --> 00:34:14

kinds of questions on a day to day basis. Some people are just

00:34:14 --> 00:34:17

miserable in their life, especially during the COVID

00:34:17 --> 00:34:20

because they just think that everything is against them, Allah

00:34:20 --> 00:34:25

does not love them. And it's all about just correcting that idea to

00:34:25 --> 00:34:28

look at things positively to increase our remembrance of Allah

00:34:28 --> 00:34:30

subhanahu wa taala and

00:34:31 --> 00:34:31

then

00:34:32 --> 00:34:35

in sha Allah when this becomes a state, the difficulty will happen

00:34:35 --> 00:34:38

and immediately you will know what to do not after you freak out and

00:34:38 --> 00:34:40

then you talk to somebody said when you should have been a bit

00:34:40 --> 00:34:43

patient, yeah, no, I should have been a bit patient, you will be

00:34:43 --> 00:34:47

patient. So we ask Allah for Tofik We ask Allah for Tofik Allah make

00:34:47 --> 00:34:51

this easy for us. Allah opened this up for us, Allah facilitate

00:34:51 --> 00:34:54

this for us. It's not easy, obviously for some people,

00:34:54 --> 00:34:57

especially when it's been years and years of trauma years and

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

years of difficulty. So may Allah make it easy for us but you

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

That is the only thing that's gonna get you out of this

00:35:03 --> 00:35:06

law Houma and the Scylla more I mean consider multiple rock

00:35:07 --> 00:35:12

jewelry very Quran Allah may call you Mirotic and study Allahu Maya

00:36:03 --> 00:36:06

those we have forgotten especially. And those of course

00:36:06 --> 00:36:11

that we remember, of Allah, but especially those that are now part

00:36:11 --> 00:36:15

of our life, and we no longer consider them sins anymore. Give

00:36:15 --> 00:36:18

us the ability to extract ourselves and extricate ourselves

00:36:18 --> 00:36:23

from these, Oh Allah, we asked you for a life of purity and Dukkha we

00:36:23 --> 00:36:27

asked you for a life of understanding, a life of awareness

00:36:27 --> 00:36:30

00:36:30 --> 00:36:36

the way you want us to be. Oh Allah, we can't do this ourselves.

00:36:45 --> 00:36:49

We try in the morning but we fail by the evening. We start in the

00:36:49 --> 00:36:53

evening we have failed by the morning of Allah. If you do not

00:36:53 --> 00:36:58

hold on to us if you do not grip us. And if you do not stabilize us

00:36:58 --> 00:37:02

or Allah, we will be destroyed of Allah for you. It's just the

00:37:02 --> 00:37:07

decree. For us. It's a lie. It's a life full of toil. It's our love

00:37:07 --> 00:37:10

for you. It's just the decree, grab us by the four locks and

00:37:10 --> 00:37:15

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

This is the way of the world that when others need help, then

there's someone who assist them. Oh Allah, we know you have every

00:37:32 --> 00:37:36

00:38:46 --> 00:38:49

Sallam has told us that when somebody dies, then their deeds

00:38:49 --> 00:38:53

become stopped and suspended of Allah. But there are a few things

00:38:53 --> 00:38:57

that continue. And one of them is a righteous son, who prays for

00:38:57 --> 00:39:01

them. Oh Allah make us of those righteous sons or righteous

00:39:02 --> 00:39:05

00:39:08 --> 00:39:12

members who have been deceased of Allah and make it such that when

00:39:12 --> 00:39:17

we die also that we have we have inspired people to make dua for us

00:39:17 --> 00:39:20

we've left a legacy as well. Oh Allah accept us for the service of
